A trip to Cebu isn’t complete without a walk down Colon Street. While at a glance, this crumbling stretch of the sidewalk may look dull but come a little closer and you’ll discover that there is much to see, do and taste. Lined with markets selling colorful backpacks, jewelry, clothing, and shoes, this street makes for a great place to buy your souvenirs. Don’t be afraid to engage in some friendly haggling with smiley vendors. You can try yummy street food, mingle with the locals, and take some awesome photos on Colon Street.

Oldest Street in the Philippines

Brave the cacophanous traffic to see the oldest street in the Philippines with some nice worn-out classical buildings dating back to the American Era. At night, this street transforms into a market with good buys everywhere. Be wary of pickpockets though.

One of the oldest streets in Cebu City. Area known as "Downtown". A bit run down now but has many cut price retail outlest for clothes, handbags, perfume etc. Worth a half day trip and some restaurants down there too.
